Makeshift

Fighting games are hard. We make tournament travel easier.

[Makeshift @makeshiftgg]

Big shout out to the @SaveMelee crew for spreading the word about our initiative to help unsponsored players make a splash at major events.

We'll be back, so if you're a player who needs a bit of help to make it to our next big event, keep an eye out.

Apologies for the delays on this. A handful of our favorite applicants have received other sponsorship offers since our form first opened.

(Which is a good thing! Congratulations to them!)

Our team be discussing a path forward and will update you as soon as possible.

With our Combo Breaker applications officially closed, we will take a few days to discuss and deliberate.

Our goal is to reach out to the chosen players early next week to discuss next steps.

[Makeshift @makeshiftgg]

Until then, we'd like to extend our thanks to everyone who applied for a spot or helped spread the word.

As a team, it's always reassuring to see the excitement around this kind of initiative in the community, especially in scenes we haven't worked with before.

With the final piece of the #MPGR2019 being released today, we'd like to extend our congratulations to the Makeshift Alumni who made the Top 100 for 2019!

[Makeshift @makeshiftgg]

To answer some questions we've received: this application will remain active until sometime in mid-February to give ample time for players to submit.

There's also no restriction on games we're taking applicants for, so even you old-man-game players have a shot at a free room.

[Makeshift @makeshiftgg]

Fighting games are hard, so we're making travel easier. Applications are now open to join Makeshift at Combo Breaker 2020!

We'll be providing a free hotel room and team apparel for up to three unsponsored players attending @ComboBreaker.

For those of you who are unfamiliar, we've sponsored players in the Smash scene since 2017 and have done a similar room giveaway at Shine 2019.

This time we're looking to level up that experience and open our doors to the wider FGC at our favorite tournament of the year.

[Makeshift @makeshiftgg]

@RyobeatPeach Glad you're getting back some use out of it.

[Makeshift @makeshiftgg]

@AmandaTNStevens @cbro_oks @ComboBreaker We're certainly willing to consider it, feel free to submit an application once the form is posted.

[Makeshift @makeshiftgg]

Are you an unsponsored fighting game player having trouble booking a room at @ComboBreaker?

We have a few extra spots in ours that will be up for grabs, free of charge.

Keep an eye out here for how to apply starting this weekend.

[Makeshift @makeshiftgg]

Also if you're an org looking for a player driven to make a real difference, then look no further.

We're also happy to answer any questions you may have if it'll help.

What an awesome journey is has been with Nico these past couple of years.

We've been privledged to watch him grow as a player and a person and this is certainly feeling like the year he reaches his goal of Top 100 ♥️

[Makeshift @makeshiftgg]

We've been incredibly lucky to have been along on this ride with @RyobeatPeach for the past couple of years ♥️

[Makeshift @makeshiftgg]

Always glad to see our work is appreciated, plus we're looking to host another Makeshift Suite in early 2020.

If you have suggestions on which tournament we should help get unsponsored players to, let us know here!

[Nicki @upgamer_Nicki]

I don't think I gave proper shoutouts yet after coming home from Shine so here we go!
First of all, huge thanks to Makeshift for sponsoring the hotel room for me. I probably would not have been able to come without your help so thank you so much @MKSF_birdup!!!

[Makeshift @makeshiftgg]

That was HOT.

[Makeshift @makeshiftgg]

It's true that our sponsorship of Ryobeat will come to an end this year.

And it's also true that he's passionate player and stupendous social justice advocate that any team should be grateful to add to their ranks.
